Thank you all for your further comments. It had slipped my mind that on the 1841 census the ages of adults were rounded down... I must write myself a post-it and stick it somewhere obvious as a reminder! In fact that probably explains it. On the 1851 census her age is recorded as 32, so she might well have been 21 when she married in October 1839, whereas he must have been a little younger (under 21). Thanks again, Jan Beaconsfield, UK _________________________________________________________________ See the most popular videos on the web http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/115454061/direct/01/
